So is this what you are looking for ?
declare @myfile varchar(256)
set @myfile='D:\MailRoomImporter\incoming_documents\releases\OC\11000248.pdf'
Select datalength(@myfile)
SELECT @myfile
, substring(@myfile, 40, datalength(@myfile)) as TheRest
, CHARINDEX('\',substring(@myfile, 40, datalength(@myfile)),1) as theslash
, substring( substring(@myfile, 40, datalength(@myfile)), 1, CHARINDEX('\',substring(@myfile, 40, datalength(@myfile)),1) - 1 ) as LookingForThis
LookingForThis results in the text 'releases'
